Being able to switch which shoulder your gun is on? | Forums

I requested this feature directly to the heads of the development teams when we were in Paris with them. Explaining why it was important based on my actual experience shooting guns around cover...

That's awesome, thanks

Cool I wonder why GRFS didn't have this
I guess the devs intended for the player to be in cover™ all of the time.

Ghost Recon Phantoms has this. When you shoulder-swapped the camera, your character also switched control/support hands to get the correct angles around cover. It was fantastic.

Honestly, the Phantoms camera and animations system is excellent in regards to this kinda stuff. Room for visual improvements of course, but it's a free 2 play game so... You can only expect so much!

And GRP added some nice new mecanics to the series. People think it's a bad game but on the other hand a lot of cool useful gameplay mecanics have been added efficiently.
Like you said it's F2P so we can't expect to much about it.

well it's bad because certain things in game, but the features in GRP is actually quite good, until Type 95 JGL SD took me down in a headshot... after I hit that guy 3 times with M110

Bit off topic and don't expect them giving us this much options but...
Any of you use different hands when using rifles and handguns? I mean I'm lefty but use my right shoulder with rifles. However with handguns I pull trigger with left and steady it with my right arm.

haven't fired "real" gun(more like NERF and Airsoft), but I'm a righty guy, though I can use either hands if needed

It would also be a nice feature to have if you have been graced on your dominant hand as you can now switch to the other arm... albeit, with a little less accuracy for effect?

Well, scratch my last, as a special orces unit, I am sure you could use either hand with lethal results

I've fired both pistols and AR15s off hand a couple times, mostly for shooting classes and different events. Rifle isn't too bad if you have a red dot on it, scopes and irons get to be a little harder using your other eye. The worst part about pistols are the controls, unless you get a completely ambi pistol manipulating some of those controls can be rather difficult at times.

Is it really necessary for pistols? I mean unlike long guns, pistol stances are pretty much centered (except for the CAR stance, but I doubt the devs will use that).
